Jacob was taken directly to the Greene County Juvenile Detention Center, where he is being held on an unruly charge from a previous runaway incident in Beavercreek, Brown said.

Brown said the four adults are associates of the family of Jacob's mother, Tawnney Caldwell, who is in jail facing a potential capital murder charge in relation to Robert Caldwell's death. He said two of the four adults provided useful information for the investigation.

Brown said Jacob's missing case was a daily priority for his department. The investigation involved daily contact with the FBI and two visits to Jacob's grandmother's home in Kentucky, he said.

"We always felt that he was fine … We had a really strong feeling that it was a family member who was involved in him being missing," Brown said.

Jacob appeared OK physically, and it does not appear that he was held against his will, Brown said.

"It was our understanding that he was not outside much. He's gone a year without school. He's gone a year without socializing with friends," Brown said. "There was no evidence of him being secured or locked in. I think he could have roamed throughout the house, if he wished."

Brown said they will be pursuing charges against the adults who may have helped Jacob disappear.

Surveillance video recorded the night Jacob disappeared showed the teen standing in front of a local Walmart, where he may have been picked up by someone in a pre-arranged meeting.
